John Hayden from Antonelli Institute was the speaker recently at a Rotary Club Meeting where he explained the Institute is celebrating 75 years of history teaching students the visual arts. Below is Club President George Schaefer and John Hayden. The Rotarians also presented a check for $1000.00 to Face to Face, a local facility and organization that offers a Dining Room, a nurse managed Health Center, a Legal Center, a Social Services Center and Children’s Summer Camps and After School programs. We also have a Washeteria where people can take a hot shower and receive a new set of clothes. Face to Face serves 2,500 annually and has been a stable presence in Germantown for over 20 years. They also recognized Honorary Rotarian Joe Bonus for always being willing to help in Rotary Projects.

More Information:

The club recognized Bob Ryan for donating the chicken for the MLK Day lunch at Face to Face. Because of the efforts of Mike Creeden from Sandy Run Country Club, most of the food for the luncheon was donated. This freed up the money that the club allocated for the luncheon to be able to present a $1,000 check to Face to Face. Additionally, the club was able to donated 2,000 toiletry items for the washeteria.

Because of his monumental work on the Springfield Rotary projects over the past years, the Rotary Club presented an Honorary Membership to Joe Bonus.

Program: John Hayden, Director of the Antonelli School of Photography located in Springfield Township presented information about the school, its programs and most of all, its successful alumni. The school was founded in 1938 by Severo Antonelli. His work is exhibited in the Woodmere Art Museum. The school is accredited by the Association of Career Schools and Colleges and authorized to award Associate Degrees. Its distinguished alumni include those whose works have been featured on Sports Illustrated, Time Magazine and National Geographic to name just a few. The school motto is “Develop Passion-Design the Future.”

Springfield Township Rotary welcomes its newest members! Congratulations to Brian Halligan of Flourtown Country Club and Dennis Murray of Murray Funeral Home who joined The Rotary Club of Springfield Township today.

It’s time for our 7th Annual Community Carnival! From June 25-29 each night starting at 6PM the carnival will take place in the parking lot of Springfield Township High School. Food, Games, Rides and other fun is planned each night with fireworks set to go off on Saturday, June 29 once it gets dark, come early enjoy the carnival and grab a great seat for the fireworks.

UPDATE:
Sorry Everyone, the weather on Thrusday, required us to cancel the carnival for Thursday Night 6/27 – Any tickets purchased are good Friday and Saturday Night. We have rescheduled One Price Wristband night to tomorrow $20 to ride all night on a Friday. That’s a great deal. Please pass this post on to all if your friends. Also don’t forget the fireworks on Saturday night, we’ll be playing it by ear on the weather, but please keep an eye on the sky! If there is lightning in the area, obviously we cannot hold a carnival or fireworks, but we’re hoping for clear skies. Plenty of free parking at the high school and middle school. See you there and THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ROTARY!
